MauiTime Best of Maui 2013: Best Hardware Store on Maui: Ace Hardware

Do you like to spend your weekends at home building things like benches, shelves and solariums? Do you feel people with clogged drain pipes who call plumbers are just suckers? Do you get all tingly inside when walking down an aisle lined with dozens of hammers? Then you’re probably like our readers, who for year after year chose Ace and their three island locations as their source for all their DIY needs. Whether your needs are electrical, paint, gardening or a mix of all three and perhaps more, Ace is where you need to be. 334 Alamaha St., Kahului, 808-877-3931 / 1280 S.
